I must have been living in a bubble this past week. I didn't know that this Paris Hilton saga had reached the full tilt of MEGAentitlement. It appears that she is too good to have to go to jail for all the VIOLATIONS she has committed....including violating the conditions of her release. She just goes along her life, doing what she wishes, and figuring that her "name" will bail her out of whatever trouble she gets herself into. KUDOS to the judge that landed her [censored] back where it belongs...in JAIL. Yall think that Sheriff might have had his pockets lined by releasing her to serve her sentence on home confinement? No wonder people take this sense of entitlement to adulthood... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> committed

If that was my boy, I would tell him to quit his crying and act like a MAN while I drove him to the BIG HOUSE to do his time! BUCK UP, BOY!

I feel sorry for her...sorry that her parents sheltered her from life's lessons...
Had she learned NO when she was tiny...she would not be learning it like this.
Good parents allow life to happen to their children while life is small and the stakes are not so high....
I am disgusted that no one asks her parents: Why didn't you do better?

Yeah...well, life bites her in the [censored] and she gets her a dose of reality.
I always told my kids...you do something that lands you in jail...and I am NOT bailing you out.
Consequences.

Or when the lawbreaker is just "uppity".
Above the law...yep, that's what she thought she was.
And then, to come out in handcuffs screaming for her Mommy...and crying "it's not fair, it's not fair".
She's right...it isn't fair that some schmuck has to do his time when she doesn't...so ride it out Paris Baby.

Sad...but it happens all too often.
I was a stickler about using the word "promise" to my kids.
If I said "promise"...it was gonna happen come ****** or high water. My son would try to get me to use that word when he wanted something really badly..."prom me Mama" he would say when he was about 3. He caught on early that a promise was etched in stone.

They have done a serious injustice to Paris if they did...and to the public. To turn a child loose like that on society isn't fair to the people who get caught in her fallout. She is lucky that she hasn't killed someone by now with all the reckless driving and the drinking and driving. Maybe they figure that their money can buy them out of anything. If it serves it purpose, she will come out of jail a better person. Any takers on that happening? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> committed

Some things are simply no brainers. Even that ditz has to know that driving under the influence is a no-no. She is in jail because she is accoutable for her stupid actions. Some things you simply cannot put on a parents shoulders.

Like Bramblerose, I think her parents are sorry individuals who are guilty of parental neglect. That being said, her life became her responsibility when she became an adult, so the buck stops with her. I don't feel sorry for her, but happy that she got this opportunity to gain some much needed character and some respect for the law. I think being sent to jail for 45 may just turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to her. In order to ever develop any character, I fear she will have to learn it all on her own at my own ALMA MATER: THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I graduated with honors from dat school! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

When I hear about Paris (or anyone for that matter) drinking and then getting behind the wheel of a car (now turned into a weapon). I think of that family on Oprah who lost their 7 year old daughter (Kate) where she was decapitated when a drunk driver ran into them head on going 70 MPH headed the wrong way on the freeway.
The entire family was in the limo. They were leaving a family member's wedding where Kate was the flower girl.
Paris needs to grow up. She is not above the law and IMVHO, her sentence was lienient. If I remember correctly, she has had a few run ins with the police where she was behind the wheel and under the influence. A murder waiting to happen.

Lord...I learned from the school of "I'm gonna get a switch on your [censored] if you do something like that".
My parents put up with ZERO foolishness from us.
If we'd gone to jail...they would have whipped us every step of the way...no matter how old we were.

when I heard Paris had been released, a thought came to my mind from a book by George Orwell.
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
Imagine how relieved I was when she was carted back to jail, like any other human being who commited the same crime.
If she did have a mental illness(which I don't buy), they have a clinic in jail to take care of it.

Paris mental illness??? Yet another designer syndrome?
What was it called "Psychological Aversion to Relocation Incarceration Syndrome" (aka PARIS)
